Honoring my father’s memory in a green way

By Eric Smalley

My father passed away last fall and since then I’ve been doing my best to honor his memory. I’ve shared old photos on social media and delivered a eulogy at his memorial service. GreeningRozzie’s Memory Tree Project has been a wonderful part of this process.

I’ve claimed a street tree in his name. It’s a public remembrance of my father, a living thing to care for in his memory, and it contributes to the city’s vital effort to maintain our street trees.

If you’d like to care for a street tree in honor of a loved one, sign up on the Memory Tree Project page.
